Abstract EN

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) with HELLP represents a rare complication that requires combined care of obstetrician, anesthesiologist, hematologist, and neonatologist.

At 37-week gestation a 35-year-old parturient (G2A1P0) a known case of chronic ITP presented with severe pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), thrombocytopenia, and elevated liver enzymes.

We describe successful anesthetic management of this patient who was taken for emergency caesarean section.
